TUCKER: Engineering's been stripped to the bulkheads. But the good news is, most of what they took was still sitting in my hangar deck. But I need time to figure out how to put it all back together.
TUCKER: Two or three days. Sir, I'm not even sure what some of these systems are supposed to do. It's like I'm Chief Engineer on a steamship coming aboard the first interplanetary transport.
T'POL: I suggest we make use of the alien workers. They may know something about these systems.
T'POL: We're in no condition for battle.
T'POL: This ship is designed to be operated by a crew of four hundred. There are only forty seven of us. The logical course of action is to take Defiant to Earth, allow Starfleet to study it, reverse-engineer its systems.
Archer:There's no time! The Empire could lose this war in a matter of weeks if we don't get the Defiant and its weapons to the front lines. Dismissed!
Everyone but Archer and Mayweather start to leave, Archer grabs T'Pol's arm
Archer: Commander. Not you.
Everyone leaves but Archer, T'Pol and Mayweather. Archer takes Mayweathers rifle.
Archer: I should shoot you for betraying me.

T'POL: The orders giving you command of Enterprise were obviously fabricated. It was my duty as a Starfleet officer to help Captain Forrest regain control of his ship.
T'POL: You should be aware Captain Forrest ordered me to kill you.
T'POL: Forrest is dead. His orders are no longer valid. You are my commanding officer.
ARCHER: I never had a problem with your people until they became a part of this rebellion. If I had another officer capable of doing your job, I'd show you to the nearest airlock. I need you to get this ship up and running. But if I hear so much as a rumor that you're working behind my back -
T'POL: Understood.
